Question

Help! E-learning day. thanks!

Answer 1

X + y = 38
2x + 5y = 100
Where x is how many 2 pointers there were on the test and y how many 5 pinters there were

Elimination method:
2x + 2y = 76
2x + 5y = 100

2x - 2x + 2y - 5y = 76 - 100
-3y = - 24
y = 8
Apply it to the equation to get x
x + 8 = 38
x = 30
30 two pointers
8 five pointers
